April 20, 2021: Themeless #13
Wait, has it really been over a week since my last post? I'm sure all of you have been very worried. Anyway, here's another Themeless puzzle using the grid I stole from QVXwordz. I'm still going to call it Themeless even though two of the 15-Letter entries are certainly thematically related to my day job.
Serious question, though; what's the best 80s saxophone solo? I'm tempted to say it's "Hungry Eyes" from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, but Hall & Oates' "Maneater" is close. Nominations accepted in the comments.

ReplyDeleteThat’s a really good point....I should probably read more
DeleteI'm amused just how much mileage you're getting out of this funky grid of mine! I thought of it as kind of a novelty, but it's a lot of fun to try and fill it cleanly.
ReplyDeleteAs for the best '80s sax solo, "Maneater" is a very good pick - the sax doing a duet with its own echo is a great trick. I'm also partial to the licks on Romeo Void's "Never Say Never" and Patrice Rushen's "Forget Me Nots," but undoubtedly the #1 on my list is on ... Foreigner's "Urgent." I hang my head in shame of my unhip taste.
There is no shame in that! One of those questions where there is truly no wrong answer...
